Introduction

Linux/Unix has a utility call "tail" that prints the last N lines in a text file. In this project you create your own version of "tail".

Note: See the "tail" documentation.

Project #1

Create your own (limited) version of the Linux/Unix "tail" utility.

• ask the user for the name of a text file to read
• ask the user for the number of lines (N) to print.
  (there should be a default value for N if the user does not specify it)
• read the text file
  • print the last N lines (in order) of the file
  • print line numbers?
• after reading the file, print the number of lines in the file

Project #2

Modify Project #1. Let the user specify the start and end lines to print.

Project #3

Add a GUI to projects #1 and #2. See PySimpleGUI or PyQt.
